The Giz Wiz Show # 1826 – Thursday 4/8/21 Independent Show #305 

Wow! We're in year 16 of The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we're now going into year 16. If it wasn't for our supporters the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/  

 

We start this week's show with one more water-powered emergency LED light.

 

This one is from a famous brand, Eton, and buying one of them cost almost as much as buying the 3 emergency lights we did last week. So is it three times as good???

 

Here's info from the company with my comments in brackets: The Eton American Red Cross Blackout Buddy H2O water-activated, emergency light. Environmentally friendly water-activated Magnesium-oxide battery module. Add water once per day for up to 72 hours of continuous light. (Different operation than the others when you dunk it in water up to the line on the device.) On/off night light option. (Really? There is no on/off switch) Safe to use in any weather condition, even if submerged in water. (Other LED light warn not to submerge LED.)  Unlimited accessory options for attachment during operation. (Really? There is no hook, handle, anything on the light that you can attach to something else.) Safer alternative to candles and matches. (And maybe just a bit brighter than either of those. This was a very disappointing $12 investment, so I got my money back!) Under $12.00 for one unit as of 4/7/21
